Guys,

Have a question. For guys that have been banded, did you suffer hair loss after surgery. What did you do to prevent it or stop it. I am getting banded on the 10th of May and am really worried about hair loss. I have thin hair as it is. Any suggestions/insights will be helpful.

This is a great site. Thanks to everyone.

PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN!! Hair loss is caused by protein deficiency. Start now. Try to get at least 50-60 grams a day...meat, dry beans, protein shakes....or about 6 months post op your hair will start to fall out!

The protein part is actually not true its vitamin loss. Go to GNC and buy hair skin and nails you might have to break it in half but it worked for me.

Most everyone has this problem. Guys and Gals alike. Mine kicked in at about 6 months post op. I literally thought I was going to be bald. I started taking Biotin. 5000IU a day. I should have started it from the beginning. It doesn't help hair loss but helps the hair you have grow so it doens't look so sparse. My hair is back to normal now almost a year post op.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. So it sounds like a combination of making sure the proteen intake is in line with what the doctor recommends as well as other suppliments from GNC.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate it.

I started loosing a lot of hair at around month 4; and it lasted for about a month. Per blood work my protein levels were fine. I did start taking 5000 mg Biotin. My hair loss stopped after about month. Was it the Biotin? Not sure. Could have been just a reaction to the surgery.
